Abstract—Summarize what this paper is about in less than 50 III. RESULTS words. Try to be succinct but self-contained, addressing the For a scientific paper, the results should be presented in this “what,” “why,” and “how” questions, if possible. section, which is separated from the methods in the previous section and the discussion in the next section. This section I. INTRODUCTION may not be very relevant to your talk if you are doing, for HIS document is a template for Microsoft Word example, a case study on a specific medical device. For a versions 6.0 or later. You can also use the free scientific paper this is the section where you would present TOpenOffice from . This the data from your research. Effectively use tables and graphs. template is based on the IEEE paper format. You should use this template to prepare your one-page paper. Try to use the standard sections (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, References) if you can. But you can change the section names or not use the section names at all, depending on the nature of the materials that you present. In this section you should provide some background information such as what specific medical problem you are addressing, what is the prevalence of this disease, what are the problems associated with the diagnostic and the treatment, etc. IV. DISCUSSION II. METHODS This is the section that you provide a conclusion. You Present the relevant mathematics, physics, engineering, and could discuss advantages, disadvantages, limitations, design technology. Effectively use figures (probably not more than tradeoffs, manufacturability, sustainability, and future three for the entire paper). Insert the figure in the text where it directions. You could also discuss economical, social, ethical is mentioned, like this example: and global issues relevant to your topic. The next section, References, is very important. To avoid plagiarism, you need to make sure that the sources of your materials including figures are properly referenced. To save space, you can simply the references by, for example, eliminating the title of the paper and using only the first author’s last name followed by et al. For website references, you normally would need URL and the date it was retrieved. Because you have the presentation date at the top, you don’t need to add the date again. The typical number of references for our seminar presentations is between 3 and 6. In conclusion, your one-page paper should be succinct but comprehensive, which provides a useful and efficient Do not use figure legend in order to save space. The most document on the topic of your choice. Fully utilize the compatible file format for the figure is JPEG. Reduce the allotted page, but do not go over one page. Please also pay picture resolution (width = 600 pixels should be more than attention to the file size. Even with 3 figures, this file is only sufficient). Here is another example of an inserted figure. 299 KB.
